5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant invention.
My toddler loves this ... she feels like a little grown up with her own carry on case, but also loves opening it to find all her treasures. At the airport, she loved riding on it, and in particular, pulling it along herself. It's brilliant. I bought a few others as birthday gifts and they were the perfect 'different' gift.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot fit for purpose
One trip abroad with my 2 year old grandson and one of the end catches had broken. Amazon wouldn't act and I was told to return to manufacturer who didn't want to know. WE also have one purchased 3 years ago still going strong. The earlier catches at the side were MUCH more robust. Nowadays they are much weaker and not fit for the life with a two year old.

I/We are pleased with the Trunkie ride along case Our son loves it to bitsBut i feel the lock is ok but actually you can open with anything not just the keyand no place to put childs details in case bag lost at any timeApart from that Brilliant he will use it tomorrow

Bought this for my 2 year old son. He loves it, though he's a bit young to ride along on it yet but I'm sure he will grow into it. Its a great size for all his toys and bits and bobs. During a recent 23 hour delay at the airport it provided hours of entertainment. My son particularly enjoyed taking his Trunki for a walk.

Received 'Bernard' this morning and we just love him. My daughter has packed him, unpacked him, packed again, ridden on him, pulled him, pushed him and ohhh....unpacked him!!!! Only 8 weeks til our holiday...will 'Bernard' survive that long!!! Im sure he will as he is sturdy and well made.Real value for money as we got him half price.Really pleased we made this purchase.

Ordered for my son to take on our last holiday and he loves it! Had great fun filling it with toys before we set off and worked well as a sit on trolley for him during the journey. The build quality is very good and the design is well thought out and very suitable for children. We got one for my other son last year and he took it all the way to the USA. It worked really well pulling him along in the airport and wasn't a problem at security or as carry on luggage as it fitted in the overhead lockers easily.

My only criticism would be that, unlike this one, the one we bought last year (different design) came with some stickers to personalise it which my son really enjoyed sticking on before we set off.

We bought this for our 12 month old following lots of good reviews. We were pleased that the special edition was in the sale when we bought it. My Daughter seems intrigued by it although she is a bit too small to ride on it yet. The catches are good and stand up to her constant fiddling. We fitted her clothes for a 5 day holiday in it and it was still very light and easy to carry. My only gripe is that some of the paintwork looks a bit cheap which it really shouldn't for the price. Looking forward to Bernard accompanying us on lots of trips...

These ride-on suitcases are SO attractive and fun for children! I really wish that they were around when I was a child! The idea is fantastic, as it gives the child the fun of being able to "ride" on their case, but it also gives them responsibility for their manouvering their own case - in such a fun way. I had previously bought my first nephew the beautiful orange and black Tipu the Tiger Trunki, which was bright, beautiful and amazing. I bought my niece the gorgeous red and black ladybird Trunki which is also attractive and fun and bright. Then this year, I was choosing from the great range of characters and colours, for a gift for my second nephew, and came across the irresistible bright yellow Bernard the Bee! The 3 I have bought all have the two handles (some have one handle). The two handles was also a factor in me choosing which one to by (to try to distribute weight evenly when it is carried).

I bought Trunki for my son, he loves it and won't let it go! Big problem for me, after 1 hour to persuade him to put it away for holiday at last its quite for a while but keep asking " where is my Trunki mama !" Ouch!
